Nutritional values

Broccoli is packed with immune-strengthening vitamin C, while the cashews provide plenty of protein, vitamin E and healthy unsaturated fatty acids.

If you have a little more time, use brown basmati rice, as it contains more fiber, minerals and vitamins than white basmatic rice.
